           MEDICARE 50/50 ENROLLMENT COMPOSITION RULE WAIVER

 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I am disappointed that the bill 
introduced by Senator Abraham and myself, which provides for a Medicare 
50/50 enrollment composition rule waiver for the Wellness Plan of 
Michigan, has not been cleared. However, I look forward to working with 
my colleagues on the Finance Committee to ensure that we enact such a 
waiver as early as possible in the 105th Congress. We cannot continue 
to deny Michigan Medicare beneficiaries the opportunity to enroll in 
this well-established quality plan.
